Victor’s Wrap-Up liability insurance protects the team involved in a construction project, such as owners, developers, engineers, architects, project managers and contractors, against third party and general liability exposures associated with their project — all with one policy for the project. There are numerous advantages to using Wrap-Up liability coverage on major construction projects, rather than relying on each contractor’s Commercial General Liability policy.
